No sense in renewing until they know Max is commited beyond 2026 as well.
Looks fun but also frustrating af. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3175860/A_Difficult_Game_About_Driving/
They could have even just mandated that everyone go through the pits for a lap
Is this so they can satisfy Doohan's contract and then put Colapinto in the car next year?
In this case it means emergency department, and the testing happens to people already needing blood tests.
Sulayem really needs to go, is anyone running against his re-election next year?
Kinda feel for Lewis, for once the team don't fuck his setup after a good practice and he mades a mistake in Q3.
Basically just didn't prepare the tyres correctly.
"The drivers that have done a better job are the ones that have managed to put temperature in the tyres - and I have no idea what I have done wrong on that last lap.
"But I definitely did something wrong because the tyres felt so bad and when I got into Turn 1, I had zero grip and that is a bit of a shame.
"I felt like the pace was there, but the preparation of the tyre was really bad on my side.
"We've had no doubt the characteristics of our car fitting the track, however, we had a big doubt on how quickly we could manage to put temperature in the tyres.
"Unfortunately, the worry was right because we've been struggling with that since FP1, but Carlos has understood something about it that I didn't quite manage to reproduce."
Would have been nice to hear about this at the time, but can see how the teams showing a united front was necessary to show the FIA up.
Paolo Basarri leaves his position as the compliance officer of Formula 1's governing body the FIA.
I thought the main reason Canada was during the European leg was due to weather concerns. Won't moving it to May just mean a greater chance of rained out sessions?

The 'new evidence' was the stewards' decision itself, saying that it incorrectly stated that Max was the defending driver. They wanted argue that Lando was ahead at the breaking zone, so technically he became the one defending into the corner and by Max running wide he was at fault.
I think the main purpose of this was to highlight how silly the first to the apex rule is, since it essentially allows you miss the corner without consequence.
Valtteri Bottas has shared the latest surrounding talks over his Formula 1 future, stating that he is “trying to stay positive” while Kick Sauber chiefs deliberate on who should partner Nico Hulkenberg next season.
Max Verstappen says he will continue his stance of giving minimal answers in official Formula 1 news conferences at this weekend’s US Grand Prix.

Parental and bereavement leave
The Bill gives "day one" rights for paternity, parental and bereavement leave for millions of workers. Around 30,000 fathers or partners will be eligible for paternity leave, while an extra 1.5 million parents will have the right to unpaid leave from day one.
It will also establish a new right to bereavement leave for workers.
Pregnant women and new mothers will get beefed up protections from dismissal whilst pregnant, on maternity leave and within six months of returning to work.
Flexible working
The right to flexible working will become the default for all employees, unless the employer can prove it’s "unreasonable". There are currently eight reasons bosses can refuse requests such as extra costs or struggles to meet customer demand. But it is not clear how narrowly the change will be interpreted.
The Government estimates 1.7million people could return to the workforce - who are currently out of the labour market - due to flexible working and other policies.
Sick pay
Statutory sick pay will be strengthened, removing the lower earnings limit for all workers and cutting out the waiting period before sick pay kicks in.
Under the existing system, workers who earn less than an average of £123-per-week do not qualify. There were 1.5million people earning below this threshold in 2022-23.
The bill will also end the three-day waiting period before workers can get sick pay. Instead it will kick in on the first day someone is off sick.
So does this mean Haas won't use Dallara anymore?
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was surprised by Logan Sargeant’s struggles in Formula 1 that led to the American being replaced by Williams earlier this week. Sargeant was dropped after crashing hea…
>"I sent him a text yesterday, and he seems OK,” Piastri said. “It was a little bit of a shock, obviously it wasn’t an easy time for him in F1. I think it was much more difficult for him than maybe I expected it to be, going into F1. For me, his potential was much greater than what was on show in F1, for whatever reason it might be. > >“But I know first-hand, being his teammate in the junior categories, racing him in basically everything, I know how quick he is. I don’t think the change was completely unexpected. Quite a bold move to put Franco in, I would say, but best of luck to him. > >“Just a shame that I think he probably had… For whatever reason he wasn’t able to show everything he’s got, because in the junior categories he was genuinely one of the quickest guys I went up against. So I think his potential is much greater than what some people see.”
